Premier League special - Swans' Bradley

Swansea City's new manager Bob Bradley says his appointment is a key moment for United States football.

The 58-year-old is the first American to manage in the Premier League, following the dismissal of Francesco Guidolin on Monday.

After his last game in charge of French side Le Havre, Bradley said: "To go to the Premier League is special.

"It's still an opportunity for me, for my family and for American football. That's important."

Bradley says he did not hesitate in opting to join the Swans, who have won one of their last seven and are 17th in the Premier League.
